Would this be allowed? A simple answer is all I'm looking for. No need to criticize. I'm at work and will explain in detail later.

If you're looking to sell it you're better off naming your asking price and dealing with a single individual. Asking a significant amount of people to start sending you raffle payments via Paypal is just asking for trouble with Paypal. You can't run a raffle with Paypal and you're liable for the funds with chargebacks. Just not worth the headache on your part.

To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

Beginning to sound like more hassle than it's worth. Anyone with experience running some of these other raffles care to share how they are conducted? As it stands now, I'm thinking 20 entries at $100 each which covers everything including a generous donation to OYR. I really liked that suggestion!

One or two payments won't trigger a warning; however, numerous payments as "friends & family" for the same amount will cause the account to be flagged and likely suspended while Paypal investigates. Paypal's rules are very specific and they hold all the cards.

Interesting. Well, gofundme works too, and I don't think they have limitations like that, do they?

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
